Sony Xperia X Performance review: Chief of staff

17 June 2016
It's the best Sony’s got. The Xperia X Performance is the chosen one to fly the banner of Sony's revamped smartphone lineup. The top of the range, the Deus X Machina, the one to make you forget about your ex – the Z-series.

AnonD-391800, 20 Jun 2016Agreed ;-) Most pleasant looking video recording too, due... moreDid you not see the camera review? The camera is worse than the competition for both taking pictures and videos. Even if you're unable to tell the difference yourself, gsmarena have put it into words for you. And that's even if you look over the lack of 4k recording.

    mir, 20 Jun 2016Better to be sarcastic than a delusional sony fanboy.Right...

      mir, 20 Jun 2016Better to be sarcastic than a delusional sony fanboy.First youd have to explain Whats delusional in my claims fanboy....
      So?

        Wow. I'm really disappointed. I own the Z5 and i am really happy with it, and although i am not looking to upgrade anytime soon, even if i would have to, i would clearly avoid the XP far far away...What are these specs and results? Camera could be better, no radio (it doesn't matter to me, but it does for some), battery is...??. The only good thing about this XP is that the CPU is much better than the Z5's, lets admit that, other than that...Z5 is the clear winner.
        What's up Sony? Get your stuff together, you're better than this.

            And not tested here.

            I ll probably be getting back with better batterylife results than shown too
            As I did in case of X and Z5.
            So, stay tuned ;-)

              Anonymous, 20 Jun 2016Same thing for repairing a car. Sometimes you have to wait ... moreThat is actually not Sonys fault, if you go to actuall Sony repair, youll get it back in very reasonable time and actually fixed.
              If your reclaim varranty from your comm provider from whoch you bought the phone, it goes to their own tech service, and those have a lot of other phones to repair, guess which brands....so you have to wait long, and usually get a defunct device back...

              Thats how it goes here where I live at least.

                Anonymous, 20 Jun 2016Same thing for repairing a car. Sometimes you have to wait ... moreCheap chinese phone companies can repaired in 2 days, and lend him the same phone temporarily. Samsung and lg can doit in 3 hours.
                But sony can do it in months. Lol. Poor sony.
                Thats why sony has so much haters here.
                Apple has many fans,
                Samsung and lg have many fans,
                China phones has many fans too.
                But sony has so many haters. Lol.

                      AnonD-391800, 20 Jun 2016Thats low cost marketing: Bashing products without any pro... moreI think no vendor does it. No need to bash Sony. Thats unnecessary. No vendor consider sony as a treat. Sony only can sell 3,5m phones per quarter, Chinese does it in a week. Its Only your paranoia.

                      If Sammy need to attack vendors its apple, they attack each others. Other vendors like sony will attack Sammy and apple.
